One Small Step - Carbs

20 g carbs a day is hard If you’re used to 300. Some people can’t go cold turkey. I couldn’t. What to do? Instead of ‘All or Nothing’ Give up what you can, now. If you’re at 300 g carbs a day, try 150 g carbs a day. Once you can do that, try 75 g carbs a day. Keep progressing at your pace. Let next week worry about itself. Focus on the small step you can do today which will get you there next week. Progression, not perfection. That’s what gets you to the top of the mountain.

One Small Step - Salt

A week into keto and you feel like crap? I was there too. One reason you may feel salty is because you’re lacking electrolytes. Let me explain. Salty over Salt When we produce less insulin we retain less water. The thing is, our body water isn’t distilled. It’s full of minerals, like electrolytes. So when we retain less, we need to reuptake or consume more. Basically, when keto, you need more electrolytes and more water How? Here’s a few great resources on replenshing your electrolytes. https://ketogasm.com/keto-flu-electrolyte-imbalance/ https://ketogenic.com/importance-electrolytes-ketogenic-diet/ http://siimland.com/full-guide-on-how-to-get-electrolytes-on-keto-diet/

The best way to climb a mountain is one step at a time. The same way, the best way to succeed in keto is to do one step at a time. One great step toward a healthier life (also keto) is dropping bread. But how do I eat a sandwhich? Great question. Bread Alternatives Lettuce Portabello mushrooms Grilled eggplant Cheese ‘Buns’ Oopsie Bread Keto Bread Last week I had the pleasure of meeting the mind behind Sola.  We had a great conversation about Chinese 5 Spice, braised short ribs, and more.  I haven't had his bread, but today I discovered he sells it.  It's a premium price point but if you really want bread, here's a link.
